BATTERY
The Bianchi SUV features a 720 Wh fully integrated battery. The battery cover features a unique cooling system inspired by the self ventilated facade in modern architecture. It Works as a forced air vertical duct that prevents the engine and the battery from overheating. An intake allows the fresh air to enter from the top. The fresh air flows through an internal duct above the battery and escapes from the bottom. This flow Works as a vacuum system reduces the heat of both the battery and the motor.
